Trials and Troubles Lyrics

Down the track this morning she did stroll
In an accident her foot got caught in a hole
Iím going to tell you the truth
Die for a touch of that cold hand
Iíd be crying every time the Southern makes itís run

Iím going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me

Sheís a rambliní gal
Bound to leave her home
I begged my brown skin
Please donít leave me alone
Iím going to make amends
Bound to cry to touch her hand
Iím going to ride that line
ĎTill I see that black train come

Iím going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me

Now people that Southern Pacific make her run
From Chapel Hill to the state of Washington
Round the bend at 40 miles
20 tons of loaded frieght a-comin' on
Florscheimís stuck and it wonít come out
My good galís dead and gone

Iím going to buy them all
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
